The Sew-Along: It begins with a bra.

Well, despite the distracting arrival of my serger in the mail, I began work on our lingerie sew-along. As you might remember, we're starting with the Pauline Bra Pattern this weekend.

                                                   

(UPDATE: if you want me to keep you posted with what's going on during the sew-along, you can go to A Few Threads Loose on Facebook and follow along that way. )

Thus it begins...

Did you pre-wash your fabric yet? When I first started sewing this went totally over my head. Then I got better and better, and realized that if I was going to all this trouble of making something for myself, it would really suck if I wore it once, washed it, and could never wear it again.

PREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE - WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASH!

Spring Cleaning and a Coupon Code

I own too many patterns. I'm an addict. At least that's what my husband will tell me with an indulgent smile on his face. I just can't stop buying them. Maybe I am an addict... oh well. I recently bought a ton of new patterns and to make room in my stash I'm re-opening my old etsy shop to clear out the old to make room for the also old, but new to me.
I spent a ton of time in photoshop putting together the perfect banner graphics and I think the shop came out rather pretty!

So aside from a few really rare patterns that I'll always want in my collection, you'll probably be able to see the patterns for things I've made and blogged about for sale.
